Moe Lane gets something wrong.

Hey, I’m honest enough to admit when I’m wrong about something – and although I could weasel out of this, I won’t: it is clear from context here that my expectations were that the Democratic party would redesign their Presidential primary system (to prevent someone doing unto the President as he did unto Clinton) at some point in 2010.  Well, that was flat-out wrong of me, and I’m sorry that I called it so badly.  It wasn’t going to start within a year at all.

It was actually going to start within three days. Continue reading Moe Lane gets something wrong.

Psst! Do you know what gamer crack looks like?

And I don’t mean ‘gamer’ in this modern, I-have-my-own-Mt-Dew-flavor sense:

…and out of curiosity? Is the intent here really to suggest that the average World of Warcraft players are attractive young women with Poor Impulse Control tattooed on their foreheads*?

PS:

You walk a mystical path, and are a creature of the spiritual and the supernatural. You are introspective and self-reliant, but nobody will ever question your bravery or commitment to justice.

Take the quiz!

Just as a clarification on TVC’s WH’s ‘Sunlight’ abandonment post.

It’s quite good (H/T: Instapundit), but it has one bit at the end that needs to be addressed:

UPDATE: FWIW, the Waxman-Markey climate bill passed 219-212. Any guess how many of those 219 (or, for that matter, the 212) really know everything that is in the bill? [bolding mine]

None of them, but I just want to make sure that there’s no false equivalence going on here. If you’re a Member of Congress and you’ve just been handed an insanely long bill and told “Vote on this” without being given any time to read or comprehend it, you actually can honorably vote on it. It’s just that the only vote that doesn’t break your oath of office would be No.

Meet Adam Kinzinger (R Cand, IL-11).

Brian’s excellent post about Debbie Halvorson and her fake independence lacked only one thing: this.

Not his fault – it took a little bit of finding – but it’s an excuse to put this front and center. Adam’s main site is, of course, here. It’d be great if he hit his fundraising number by the deadline, wouldn’t it?
